Earlier reports from Brazil:

"The security is great and there are no preparation issues regarding the stadium. The hospitality is superb and the crowd is energetic and the locals are so welcoming towards the Croatians and other spectators!

"It's great to see the flags hanging of all the different parts of Croatia on the stadium balconies."
